It’s the year 2020 and to say things are changing in the world would be a dramatic understatement. One change that is happening, on the lighter side of things, is the way people view marijuana and marijuana products.  Leading the way on the marijuna charge are CBD products.  Personally I was never big into weed myself, it just didn’t do much for me. So if you’re like me and might have to google what exactly CBD is let me save you a step.  CBD is…

There are many elements that go into making a successful brewery. Building a brand, creating a good atmosphere in your taproom, employing a staff that connects to the community and countless other variables that go into building a reputable company.  One of those things that can not be ignored is having a solid flagship beer that, for lack of better wording, keeps the lights on. More often than not that flagship beer is probably going to be an IPA. For a lot of us, myself…

Fruity beer can be a good thing.  Granted not every beer is enhanced by fruit. Sometimes fruit can actually be counterproductive to a well crafted beer.  However sometimes cranking the fruit volume up to 11 makes an already great beer magically delicious. Cloud 19 is a New England Style IPA made by Brew Detroit. The base brew of Cloud 19 is delicious and wonderful on it’s own. I usually follow Brew Detroit pretty close and try to keep up on their releases throughout the year.…

Spring is here! The change of seasons in northern states is always a good thing. People start to transition from heavy coats and boots and start living day to day a bit more comfortably.  Around this time of year a lot of people’s beer tastes change too and starts to move towards something a little lighter.

Every year we see new fads pop up in craft beer. Some stick around, while some fizzle out after a season or so on the shelves.  It’s still early in the year but one trend that is popping up in 2020 has been the low cal IPA. The concept of low calorie beer seems to be rather divisive.  Many people found craft out of a desire to avoid lighter beers. With that in mind I can see how people would be apprehensive about the low…

Do you believe in unicorns? As we all know a unicorn is a mythical horse creature featuring a horn predominantly on its head. The Narwhal is the aquatic equivalent of this magnificent beast. It also happens to share its name with one of the more highly sought after beers that hits shelves nationwide.  Narwhal is one of those beers that still can be a bit of a challenge to snag, however since I have been stuck at home for about 10 days I decided to…
